- Step 3In small bowl, combine tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper. Brush salmon with oil and rub with tarragon mixture to coat both sides.
- Step 4Place salmon on hot grill grate. Cover grill and cook salmon 8 to 10 minutes or until it turns opaque throughout, turning over once with large spatula. Transfer to platter.
- Step 5Drain onion well. Stir onion into nectarine mixture. Serve nectarine salsa with grilled salmon.
